Jonah Hex #50 [Minor Spoilers]
The Pitch: Darwyn Cooke [artist] teams with Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti [writers] for the 50th issue [a double-sized extravaganza] of Jonah Hex.
The Overview: Hex and a female bounty hunter named Tallulah have found that working together has benefits… their relationship has become more than just professional. After a night spent together celebrating a huge reward, Hex wakes up alone. Determined to find Tallulah and the reason she left, Hex accepts a bounty mission to bring in 50 criminals. Fifty bounties is a huge burden, but it’ll be easier than accepting what he learns about Tallulah.
The Good: Darwyn Cooke’s art. The story by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti. Tallulah is a cool character and the perfect love interest for Hex. The reason Tallulah left. Fifty bounties for the 50th issue was a nice touch.
The Bad: What happens to those hunted by Hex or Tallulah. Hex’s attitude after Tallulah leaves. What happens along the way and when Hex finds her.
The Ugly: Jonah Hex.
The Summary: Jonah Hex #50 is a great read. The story has twists that will surprise even the most jaded comic reader. It’s a double-sized issue and presents a complete story, so even the most casual comic reader can enjoy it. It’s definitely worth searching out.
